We have IIS servers that write errors to log (text) files. We would like to be able to alert when the rate of errors written to the log file exceed a threshold.

Hi,
you could use the File Content Sensor here. It is able to check a file for a defined keyword. Then you might add Channel Limits for channel Matches.
